SECTION I HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1-1. General
Electro- Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system (with the exception of the
hydraulic cylinders and hoses) is contained within
the base of the table. The hydraulic valves and
pump are electrically controlled by the use of a
hand- held push button pendant control. The power
requirements for the table are 120 VAC, 5 amp,
60 Hz.
The table contains the following components. Refer to the block diagram ( figure 1- 1) for relationship.
a. Oil Reservoir - Main oil supply. Approximately
two quarts.
LA TERAL TIL T
LATERAL SLIDE

b. Motor/Pump Assembly - A positive displace-
ment gear type pump provides the necessary oil
pressure and volume.
c. Pressure Relief Valve - Provides an alternate
oil path when the hydraulic cylinders reach the end
of their stroke.
d. Electro/Hydraulic Mini-Valv e Assemblies -These
direct the fluid to the appropriate hydraulic cylinders.

1-2. Component Operation
a. Motor/Pump Operation
The motor/pump assembly is a gear type pump
that provides the oil pressure and volume for the
entire hydraulic system. The pump has an inlet
side and an outlet side. The inlet side is connected
to the reservoir which provides the oil supply . The
reservoir has a very fine mesh screen strainer
which prevents foreign material from entering the
oil system.
The output line of the pump is connected to the
main oil galley which is internal and common to all
the hydraulic mini-valves and pressure relief valve.
Also, common to the hydraulic mini-valves and
pressure relief valve is an oil galley that internally
connects to the oil reservoir to provide a return
path for the hydraulic oil. See figure 1-2.
Turning the adjustment nut clockwise increases
the amount of oil pressure required to open the
valve, and turning it counterclockwise decreases
the amount of oil pressure. (See adjustment section for specification.)

b. Pressure Relief Valve
This device provides an alternate oil path when
the hydraulic cylinders reach the end of their stroke
and the pump continues to run. If this path were
not provided, the pump motor would stall because
the oil cannot be compressed. The pressure relief
valve is directly connected to the mini-valve bodies and shares both the common internal main
pressure oil galley, and the return oil galley, that
internally connect to the reservoir. See figure 1-3.

The main component of the valve is an adjustab le

Page 2
Figure 1-4. Pressure Relief Valve Functioning
c. Mini-Valves
The operation of the mini-valves is identical for all
table functions except the ele v ation and br ak e circuits. These two hydraulic circuits use a 3-way
(single check valve) type mini-v alve. All other functions use a 4-way (dual check valve) type minivalve.
Either type mini-valve is controlled by two pushing
type, electrically operated solenoids. The solenoids
push the spool valve (located in the lower portion
of the valve) one way or the other. This motion
opens the main supply galley (which has pump
pressure) allowing the oil to flow through the various parts of the mini-valve to the function. The
spool valve also opens an oil return circuit which
allows the oil to return to the oil reservoir.
The main components of the mini-valve and their
functions are listed below:
1. Spool Valve - Opens the main oil galley
(pump pressure) to either mini-valve outlet depending on which direction the spool valve is pushed.
Also it provides a return path for the oil returning
back into the reservoir.
2. Pilot Plunger - There are two plungers in a
four-way mini-valve (one in a 3-way mini-valve),
one under each check valv e. The purpose of the
pilot plungers is to mechanically open the return
check valve allowing the oil to return back into the
reservoir.
The speed controls are always located in the return oil circuit. This prevents uncontrolled movement of the piston in the slave cylinder due to one
side of the piston being loaded with hydraulic pressure and the other side having no load.
Also, by using this control method, it doesn’t matter
what size cylinder and piston is used because the
speed can be controlled by restricting the return oil.
If the pump puts out more volume to a certain slave
cylinder than the speed control is allowing to go back
to the reservoir, the pressure relief valve provides
an alternate path for the pump oil.
d. Mini-Valve in Neutral Position
(No fluid flow) See figure 1-5.
1. Spool V alv e Centered - This closes off both
oil pressure and oil return galleys.
2. Pilot Plungers Both Closed -The pilot plungers control the opening of the check valves. If they
are closed, the check valves must be closed.
3. Check Valves - Both check valves are
closed trapping the oil in the cylinder and oil lines.
4. Speed Adjustment - When the mini-valve
is in the neutral position, the speed adjustment
does not affect anything because there is not any
oil flow.
3. Check Valve - Two are provided in each
four-way mini-valve to seal the oil in the cylinders
and oil lines and prevent any movement of the
table. One check valv e is provided in a 3-wa y minivalve.
4. Speed Adjustments - There are two speed
adjustments in each mini-valve. They are needle
valve type controls which restrict the volume of oil
returning back into the reservoir, thereby controlling the speed of the table surface movement. A
3-way mini-valve has only one speed adjustment.

the oil return line providing an oil path through the
internal oil galley back to the reservoir.
2. Pilot Plunger V alv e - Left pilot plunger valv e

3. Check Valves - Both check valves are
opened in this operation mode. The right check
valve is pushed open by the oil pressure created
by the pump. The oil then continues to go through
the lines and pushes the slave cylinder piston to
the left. At the same time, the left check valve is
held open mechanically by the pilot plunger providing a return path for the oil through the minivalve back to the reservoir.
4. Speed Adjustment - The right speed control (output side) does not have any effect in this
operation mode because the oil is routed around
the speed adjustment through a by-pass valv e and
then to the output port. The left speed adjustment
controls the speed of the table function by restricting the amount of oil going back into the reservoir.

There are several different types of hydraulic cylinders used in the table that activate the control
functions. With the exception of the elevation and
brake cylinders, all oper ate basically the same way .
The control functions are:
Reverse Trendelenburg/Trendelenburg
Lateral Tilt
Elevation
Brake Cylinders
Longitudinal Slide Function - 3001 Only
Lateral Slide Function - 3001 Only
1. Trendelenburg Cylinder - The double
action cylinders are closed at one end and have a
movable piston with hydraulic fluid on both sides.
Connected to this piston is a ram or shaft that exits
out of the other end of the cylinder. Through the use
of a ball and socket arrangement this ram is
connected to a movable table surface.
The movable surface can be moved one way or
the other by pumping hydraulic fluid into the cylinder on either side of the piston. Obviously, if oil is
pumped into one side of the cylinder, a return path
must be provided for the oil on the other side. See
figure 1-8.
TRENDELENBURG
CYLINDER
The pistons and connection rods are attached to a
non-movable surface. Therefore, when hydraulic
fluid is pumped into one side, the cylinder housing
itself moves around its pivot pin causing the table
top to tilt to one side. To tilt the table top in the
opposite direction, hydraulic fluid is pumped into
the other side of the cylinder assembly.
Figure 1-9. Lateral Tilt Cylinder Assembly
3. Longitudinal Slide Cylinder Assembly - 3001
Only - The longitudinal slide system utilizes two
double action cylinders working in tandem. The
two cylinder housings are connected together facing opposite directions. The ram of one cylinder is
connected to the table top frame and the other one
is attached to the elevation column. Hydraulic fluid
is pumped into the same end of both cylinders at
the same time. The two cylinder system allows
the 20" of top slide to be performed by a short
cylinder system. See figure 1-10.
with two pistons complete with connecting rods.
The connecting rods are attached to a stationary
pin in the housing on top of the main support column. The cylinder housing attaches to the table
frame and is attached to the support column with
der assembly consists of a dual cylinder housing
a pivot pin. See figure 1-9.

This cylinder is also a double action cylinder. It
differs from the Trendelenburg cylinder in that the
piston is connected to rams which exit from each
end of the cylinder tube. The ends of the rams
connect to each side of the table top . The cylinder
tube is connected to the elevation column. When
hydraulic fluid is pumped into one side of the cylinder, the entire tab le top assembly will slide laterally. See figure 1-11.

PISTON
Figure 1-11. Lateral Slide Cylinder
5. Elevation Cylinder - This single action cylinder does not have hydraulic fluid on both sides
of the piston. It depends on the w eight of the tab le
top assembly to lower it.
The cylinder is set in the center of the elevation
main column. The piston and piston rod are elevated by the driven force of the oil pressure.
When lowering, the oil that is accumulated in the
cylinder is returned to the oil reservoir through the
mini-valve due to the table top weight.
A slider support assembly is used to support the
weight of the upper table section. A stainless steel
shroud covers the flexible hydraulic hoses and
slider. See figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12. Elevation Cylinder Assembly
6. Brake Cylinders - The brake cylinders are
single action type similar to the elevation cylinder.
The movable piston ram is connected to a brake
pad. See figure 1-13. Oil pumped into the top of
the cylinder pushes the piston down raising the
table base off its casters. An internal return spring
pushes the piston up to return the oil through the
mini-valve to the reservoir.

h. Elevation Cylinder Return Circuit
i. Brake System
A three-way (single check valve type) mini-valve
controls both the elevation and return circuits. The
elevation circuit operation within the mini-valve is
identical to the operation of the four-way valves
previously described (inlet pressure opens the
check valve allowing the oil to enter the cylinder).
In the return position, inlet pressure pushes the
pilot plunger up and opens the return check valve.
See figure 1-16. The open check valve allows a
path for the oil in the ele vation cylinder to return to
the reservoir. When the pilot plunger valve is
opened, the continuing pump pressure opens the
pressure relief valve which provides a return oil
path to the reservoir.
The mini-valve used in the elevation circuit contains only one check valv e (all four-way mini-v alves
use two check valv es). The check v alve is used to
trap the oil in the elevation cylinder thereby supporting the table top. When the top is being lowered the check valve is mechanically held open by
the pilot plunger through pump pressure.
The brake system consists of the following components: (figure 1-17)
1. Single action slave cylinders (4 each).
2. 3-way (single check valve type) mini-valve.
3. Manually controlled emergency brake re-
lease.
4. Plumbing terminal, flexible hoses, copper
lines and "O" rings.
5. Portions of the electrical system.

Each corner of the cast-iron table base has a hydraulic brake cylinder. These single action cylinders are hydraulically connected in parallel to the
mini-valve and all f our are activ ated together. It is
normal for one corner of the table to raise before
the others due to the weight distribution of the table.
An electronic timer in the relay box is activated
when any function on the pendant control is
pushed momentarily . The pump/motor and brake
system mini-valve are activated and the brake cylinders are completely set. The electronic timer
runs for approx. 8-10 seconds.
Page 7
The brakes are released by pushing the BRAKE
UNLOCK button momentarily. An electronic timer
in the relay box activates the brake function hydraulic mini-valve and pump/motor.
1-3. Hydraulic Adjustments
a. Fluid Level.
When activated, the return hydraulic circuit operates similar to the elevation cylinder return circuit.
Return springs inside the single action brake cylinders retract the brake pads and provide the pressure to return the hydraulic oil back to the reservoir. The electronic timer operates the return circuit for approximately 8-10 seconds.
j. Emergency Brake Release
The emergency brake release is simply a manually operated bypass valve connected in parallel
to the brake cylinders and the oil reservoir. See
figure 1-18. When the valve is opened (turned
counter-clockwise) a return circuit for the brake
hydraulic fluid is opened. The return springs force
the pistons up pushing the hydraulic oil back into
the reservoir and retracting the brake pads.
The fluid level should be approximately 1/2" below
the filler hole or gasket surface. If additional fluid
is needed, remove the filler vent cap with a phillips
screwdriver and add fluid through this opening
using a funnel. See figure 1-19.
NOTE
The elevation cylinder should be completely down, the brakes released and
all the other control functions in their
neutral position when checking oil level.

NOTE
•The emergency brake release valve
must be tightened securely when not in
use.
•If the emergency brake release valve
has been operated, the BRAKE UNLOCK button on the pendant control
may have to be pressed before brakes
will lock again.
If the emergency brake release valve is open or
loose, the brakes will release slowly- depending
on how loose the valve is, this could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
Figure 1-19.
The type of oil that should be used is Mobil DTE
#25 or equivalent. This is a very high quality hydraulic oil. The table requires approximately two
quarts of oil to operate properly. Exercise caution
when determining equivalence to avoid damage
to the hydraulic system.
b. Bleeding The Hydraulic System
To purge the air from the hydraulic system, operate each function back and forth at least two or
three times.
NOTE
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the
lines using the pump pressure before
making the final connection. Then operate the function until it stalls in both
directions.

Pressure should be 8MP A (80KG/CM
2
-1138 PSI).
An erratic reading and/or inability to adjust to the
recommended setting may indicate the need for
replacement of the pressure relief valve.
d. Speed Controls
The speed controls restrict the volume of oil returning back to the reservoir thereby controlling
the speed of each control function.

Any control function should move in either direction at the same rate. If the rate of a certain function is too slow, open the speed control slightly
and recheck. On the electric tables use the second hand on a watch and time a particular function. Match that time in the opposite direction by
opening or closing the speed control.
A pressure gauge should be used to set the speed
of the back section, trendelenburg and flex control
functions.
To adjust:
1. Attach the pressure gauge onto the main
oil galley as shown in figure 1-21.
2. The gauge should read the following values when operating the various control functions
in either direction. Tur n the speed controls until
desired values are obtained.
All four-way mini-valves, have two speed controls
located in the ends of each valve body. All threeway mini-valves have only one speed control.
One speed control adjusts one direction of a particular function and the opposite speed control
adjusts the other direction. They are adjustable
by using a small straight blade screwdriver and
turning the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the speed and counterclockwise to increase the speed. See figure 1-21.
Elevation - There is not a speed adjustment for
raising the table. The speed control will only affect the rate of descent and it should equal the
rate of elevation.
NOTE
These pressure values should be used
as a guideline. If the speed of a control
function moves faster in one direction
than the other direction, adjust the
speed control until they are equal. You
may find that the pressure gauge may
record a higher reading in one direction. This is normal.

SECTION II MECHANICAL TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
2-1. Elevation Column Adjustment
NOTE
This adjustment is required only if excessive horizontal table top mov ement
occurs, or after replacement of the elevation column bearing components.
This adjustment should only be performed by a qualified technician.
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken not to
overtighten the set screws as irreversible damage to the elevation components may result.
To adjust:
1. Lower elevation column.
2. Remove the screws which retain the lower
shroud to the base. See figure 2-5.
3. Using tape or bungy cord, secure the lower
shroud piece to the upper shroud piece.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SET
SCREWS.
5. Elevate the table until the next row of adjustment set screws becomes accessible. Tighten
as described in step 4 above.
6. Repeat this process until the elevation column is fully extended and all 10 rows of set screws
have been adjusted.
7. Lo w er elevation column and repeat steps 4
through 6 until there is no horizontal movement to
the table top, and the elevation column descends
smoothly without binding.
NOTE
This adjustment should be checked
after one week, then approximately
once a year.

SECTION III HYDRAULIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Before attempting to troubleshoot any hydraulic
problem on the table, please read through the precautions and notes below.
CAUTION
When disconnecting any of the hydraulic lines, fittings, joints, hoses, etc., for
the elevation function, be sure the table
top is in the down position or completely
supported.
Elevation
When working on the trendelenburg
or lateral tilt hydraulic circuits, be sure
to support the table top. When working
on the brake system make sure the
brakes are completely retracted.
Once the problem has been determined, concentrate on that particular hydraulic circuit or control function.
Listed below are the hydraulic components that
are common with all hydraulic circuits. If there is a
problem with any of them, it could affect all control
functions.
1. Motor/Pump Assembly
2. Reservoir
3. Pressure Relief Valve
4. Certain Oil Lines and Galleys
If there was a problem in the following components ,
only one control function would normally be affected.
1. Mini-Valve
2. Slave Cylinder
3. Oil Lines
WARNING
Failure to follow these precautions may
result in an uncontrolled oil spray and
damage to the table or personal injury.
3-2. Troubleshooting Notes
When troubleshooting a table malfunction, first
determine the following:
1. Does the problem affect all control func-
tions?
2. Does the problem affect only one control
function?
3. If the problem affects one control function
is it in both directions?
4. Is the problem intermittent?
5. Is the problem no mov ement of a table sur-
face or does the table surface lose position?
NOTE
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the
lines using the pump pressure before
making the final connection. After all
connections are tight, cycle the control
function back and forth two or three
times to purge the remaining air from
the system.
CAUTION
When installing new "O" rings use hydraulic oil to thoroughly lubricate the
"O" rings and cylinder. Keep everything clean.
Each complete oil circuit is shown on the following
pages. When troubleshooting a particular function, refer to the appropriate oil circuit diagram and
the list of possible problems.

SECTION IV ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4-1. General
The complete electrical system (with the exception of the hand-held pendant control and the return circuit micro-switches) is contained within the
base of the table. The pump motor and the hydraulic valves are controlled electrically with the
pendant control.
The electrically operated functions are as f ollows:
- ELEVATION - Up and Down
- TRENDELENBURG - Head up and down
- LATERAL TILT - Right and left
- LATERAL SLIDE - 3001 Only
- LONGITUDINAL SLIDE - 3001 Only
- RETURN TO LEVEL
- BRAKE UNLOCK - Brake release
The power requirements are 120 V AC , 60 Hz. The
main power on-off switch is an enclosed DPST
circuit breaker type and the power cord is a threewire, fifteen foot long, UL listed cord with a threeprong hospital grade plug.
4-2. Components
Refer to figure 4-1 for the relationship of the electrical components.
a. Wires, Connectors , Switches, Fuse - These
provide the path for the various electrical circuits.
b. Relay Box - Contains the step down tr ansformer , full wa ve rectifier, micro-processor and relay switches. The relay switches are activated by
the pendant control signal to the micro-processor
and in turn energize the solenoids.
c. Hand-Held Pendant Control - Contains circuit board mounted switches and a micro-processor which activate the relay box. Operates on 5
VDC.
d. Solenoids - These electrically open and
close the hydraulic ports of the mini-valve to direct
the fluid to the correct cylinders. They operate on
120 VAC.
The basic operation of each component will be
defined along with a drawing and explanation on
how to check it out.
2. Disconnect connector CN4 from the relay
box. See figure 5-1. Leave all other connectors
connected.
WARNING
Certain defective components could cause the
entire table to stop functioning or only one control
function to stop. It would depend on what par t of
the component failed. Other defectiv e components
would only cause one control function to stop.
The following def ective components could cause
all control functions to be affected:
a. Motor/Pump Assembly (starting capacitor)
b. Main Switch Circuit and Wiring
The following def ective components could cause
all control functions to be affected or only one control function:
a. Relay Box
b. Pendant Control
The component listed below would only affect one
control function:
Solenoid
Line voltage (120 VAC) will be measured in this test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
Figure 5-1. Main Power Test
3. Use an A C v oltmeter capable of measuring
120 VAC and measure the voltage between pins 1
and 2 (black and white wires) located in connector
CN4. See figure 5-2. You should receive line v oltage 120 VAC.
When troubleshooting an electrical circuit, start at
the problem and work back to the power source.
5-2. Main Switch
The main power supply, 120 VAC, 60 HZ, comes
in through the power cord and through the Power
Switch. The Power Switch opens both lines when
in the "OFF" position. The Power Switch is also a
10 Amp circuit breaker that is used to protect the
complete electrical system.
a. Main Switch Test
The following test will determine if line voltage is
applied to connector CN4, which in turn would
power the table.
1. Plug the power cord into the 120V AC powe r
supply (wall receptacle) and turn ON the main
switch.

If you do not receive the correct voltage measurement, the problem would have to be in the wires,
main switch or power cord. If the correct voltage
is obtained, everything is good up to this point and
the problem would have to be in another area.

5-3. Pendant Control
c. Table Base Connector Test
The Pendant Control is part of the solid state, multiplex, logic control system. The pendant control contains illuminated, circuit board mounted switches and
a micro processor. The encoded output from the
pendant control is serial bit stream logic.
The output signal is transmitted to the micro processors in the relay box where the logic is decoded
and the appropriate relays for the selected function are activated.
a. Pendant Control Test
There are some serviceable components within the
Pendant Control. The cord is detachable and can
be tested for continuity between the pins on the
connectors. Use the following procedure to test
the pendant control cord.
Disconnect the cord from the table connector and
from the pendant control connector and using an
ohmmeter, test the continuity between the corresponding pins in the connectors. See figure 5-3.
b. Test Results
If correct readings are received, test the wiring from
the table base connector to connector CN7 at the
Relay Box. Disconnect connector CN7 from the
Relay Box and using an ohmmeter, test the continuity between the corresponding pins in connectors CN7 and the table base connector. See figure 5-4.

the circuit is okay and the problem may be the
Pendant Control circuit board or the Relay Box.
Contact SKYTRON if all tests performed indicate
that the problem is located in the P endant Control.
Page 22
Figure 5-3. Pendant Control Test
5-4. Relay Box
The power supply is directly connected to the relay contacts. When these contacts are closed, 120
volts is supplied to the solenoids which are
mounted on the hydraulic mini-valves. One relay
is used to supply power to the pump/motor and is
always activated no matter what control function
is selected. The brake locking circuit relay is also
activated when any control function other than
BRAKE UNLOCK is initially selected.
Also, inside the rela y box is a step-down transf ormer
and full-wave rectifier which decreases the voltage
to 5-6 volts. This low voltage potential controls the
relays by the use of the hand-held pendant control
buttons. Basically the relays enable a 5-6 volt potential to control the 120 volt circuit.
3. Activate any table function with the Pendant Control and using an AC voltmeter, test the
voltage at pins 3 and 4 of CN4 for output to the
pump. Meter should read 120 VAC.
b. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct meter readings,
the relay box or wiring is defective. If the correct
readings are obtained, this part of the relay box is
okay. Proceed to the next step.
c. Checking Output to Solenoids
This test checks the high voltage (120V) that is
used to energize the solenoids.
The following tests will determine if the relay box
is functioning correctly.
a. Checking Relay Box Connector CN4
1. Connect the power cord to the table. Plug
the power cord into the 120 V A C power supply (wall
receptacle) and turn the main switch ON. Leave
all connectors connected.
WARNING
Line voltage (120 VAC) will be measured in this test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
2. Use an AC v oltmeter capable of measuring
120 volts and measure the voltage between pins 1
(white) and 2 (black) of connector CN4 for input
voltage. See figure 5-5. Meter should read line
voltage 120 VAC.

ACV
WARNING
120 VAC will be measured in this test.
Do not touch uninsulated connector
pins or meter test leads.
NOTE
•The Brake Lock function is activated
by pressing any function button (except
BRAKE UNLOCK). A timer in the Relay
Box allows continuous output for about
7 seconds. If the brakes are already
locked, no output is provided.
•The BRAKE UNLOCK button activates
another timer in the relay box which
allows continuous output for the brake
release function for approximately 7
seconds. If the brakes are released
(using the BRAKE UNLOCK button) no
output is provided.

The solenoid windings are protected from excessive heat with an internal thermal fuse that will open
after approximately sev en (7) minutes of continuous operation. The solenoid must be replaced if
the internal thermal fuse has been blown. The
solenoids are mounted directly on either side of
the hydraulic mini-valves and push the spool valve
in one direction or the other depending upon which
solenoid is activated.
a. Solenoid Test
The following tests check the voltage applied to
the solenoids and the resistance of the solenoid
coil.
NOTE
Figure 5-6. Solenoid Output Connectors
d. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct meter readings,
the relay box or wiring is defective and should be
replaced.
NOTE
Before deciding the relay box is defective, check the wires and pins in the
connector blocks to make sure they are
not loose or making a bad connection
with their mate.
e. Checking Output to Pendant Control
The output to the Pendant Control can not be tested
without specialized equipment. If all tests have
been conducted and it appears that the Relay Box
is faulty, contact SKYTRON.
If a solenoid does not function when the
pendant control button is pushed, the
problem could be the pendant control,
the relay box, or the solenoid.
NOTE
Each solenoid is controlled with 120V
source coming from the relay box. This
source can easily be checked by measuring the voltage at the 2 pin connector in question.
WARNING
Line voltage will be measured in this
test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
b. Step #1
1. Plug the table cord into the wall receptacle
and turn main switch ON.
5-5. Solenoids
The solenoids are energized by 120 volt potential
that is controlled by the relays located inside the
relay box.
Page 24
2. Disconnect the 2 pin connector from the
solenoid in question. See figure 5-7.
3. Use a voltmeter capable of measuring 120
VAC and measure the voltage across the 2 pin
connector. Polarity of meter leads is not important.
NOTE
d. Test #2
The appropriate pendant control
button must be pushed during this test.
The motor will run when this test is
performed, and the brake locking solenoid will be activated by any function
other than UNLOCK.
c. T est Results:
If you do not receive the correct v oltage, the problem could be in the wires leading to the connectors. The problem could also be in the relay box
or the Pendant Control (refer to appropriate section for troubleshooting).
If the correct voltage is obtained, ev erything is good
up to that point and the problem is more than likely
the solenoid.

CAPACITOR
Whenever there are several components of the same type, a defective unit
can also be detected by substituting a
known good unit or wire connector. In
some cases this may be faster than
using a multi-meter.
5-6. Motor/Pump Assembly
The electric motor is a capacitor start type with a
rating of 120 VAC, 200 watts. The field windings
are protected with a thermal protector that will open
the winding circuit if the motor is run continuously
for approximately 10 minutes. This protector will
take about 10 minutes to automatically reset. The
oil pump unit is attached to the bottom of the motor
and is a gear type displacement pump with a pumping capacity of .4 liter per min. The Motor/ Pump
Assembly is mounted on an insulated motor plate
in the base of the table. The starting capacitor is
mounted along side the motor/pump assembly.

a. Motor/Pump Test
The following tests will check the voltage applied
to the motor and the resistance of the motor field
windings.
WARNING
Line voltage will be measured in this
test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
b. Step #1
1. Plug the power cord into 120 VAC power
supply (wall receptacle). Turn main switch ON.
Page 26
Figure 5-9. Connector CN15
c. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct meter readings,
the problem could be in the wires, connectors, relay box, or main switch (refer to appropriate section for troubleshooting).
If the correct voltage is obtained, e verything is good
up to that point and the problem could be either
the motor or the starting capacitor.
d. Step #2
If the starting capacitor is shor ted or grounded,
the motor will not run. Capacitors v ery seldom fail,
and it requires a dielectric tester to accurately test
one. However, an ohmmeter can be used to de-
termine if the capacitor will store a low voltage
charge and most of the time this is adequate.
1. Turn the main switch OFF.
2. Connector CN15 should be disconnected.
3. Use the R x 100 scale of the ohmmeter and
touch pins 2 and 3 of connector CN15. See figure
5-9.
e. Test Results:
g. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct meter readings,
the motor or wiring is defective.
5-8. Return-to-Level Micro-Switches.
The return-to-level feature is activated by a single
button on the pendant control and automatically levels the table top from lateral tilt and Trendelenburg
positions.
The meter needle should move up scale and then
back down to infinity. This would indicate that the
capacitor is storing an electrical charge.
NOTE
The capacitor may have to be discharged
first (by shorting pins 2 and 3 together)
before you will be able to see the ohmmeter needle swing up the scale.
f. Step #3
The motor windings can be statically checked for
resistance using an ohmmeter.
1. Turn main power switch OFF.
2. Connector CN15 should be disconnected.
The micro-switches operate on low v oltage, and control the function circuits (pump/motor and appropriate solenoid valves) when activated by the pendant
control RETURN button.
The micro-switches are wired to the relay box through
a riser cord and to the 15 pin connector CN10. See
figure 5-11 for switch location and identification.

When an antistatic pathway is required,
the table has to be used on an antistatic
floor.
WARNING
The antistatic properties of the table are
dependent on the use of the original pad
set which was furnished with the table
or an alternate approved replacement.

2-5. Positioning
During table set-up and patient positioning, the
following items should be observed.
The table top is constructed of a radiolucent
composite material. Use caution when using accessories to protect the table top from damage
including nicks or scratches to maintain clear imaging capability.
The 500 pound lift and articulate capacity is
based on the patient weight load being evenly
distributed on the table top. Refer to figures 2-15
and 2-16 for proper patient positioning.
Normal patient positioning is with the head
placed at the elevation column end of the table.
MAXIMUM END LOAD 180 POUNDS.
During transfer, DO NOT seat the pa-
tient at the distal end of the table. Table
stability may be compromised.
Lithotomy positioning is NOT ADVISED
for the 3002 Impulse table.
WARNING
SKYTRON assumes no liability for table
performance or safety when used in
conjunction with accessories designed
by others. Always consult with
SKYTRON for compatibility issues!
